Unifying several directions of the development of the study of summing multilinear operators between Banach spaces, we construct a general framework that studies, under one single definition, multilinear operators that are summing with respect to sums taken over any number of indices, iterated and non-iterated sums (the isotropic and the anisotropic cases), sums over arbitrary blocks and over several different sequence norms. A large number of special classes of multilinear operators and of methods of generating classes of multilinear operators are recovered as particular instances. Ideal properties and coincidence theorems for the general classes are proved.
In this paper we introduce an abstract approach to the notion of absolutely summing multilinear operators. We show that several previous results on different contexts (absolutely summing, almost summing, Cohen summing) are particular cases of our general results.
We prove new summability properties for multilinear operators on $\ell_p$ spaces. An important tool for this task is a better understanding of the interplay between almost summing and absolutely summing multilinear operators.
In this note we obtain new coincidence theorems for absolutely summing multilinear mappings between Banach spaces. We also prove that our results, in general, can not be improved.
In this paper we obtain new inclusion and coincidence theorems for absolutely or multiple summing multilinear mappings. In particular, we derive optimal coincidence theorems of Bohnenblust-Hille type for multilinear forms on K-convex Banach spaces of cotype 2.
We construct a general framework that generates classes of multilinear operators between Banach spaces which encompasses, as particular cases, the several classes of summing type multilinear operators that have been studied individually in the literature. Summing operators by blocks in the isotropic and anisotropic cases are taken into account. The classes we create are shown to be Banach ideals of multilinear operators and applications to coherence and coincidence theorems are provided.
In this paper we provide an abstract aproach to the study of classes of multiple summing multilinear operators between Banach spaces. The main purpose is unify the study of several known classes and results, for example multiple $(p, q_1,\dots, q_n)$-summing operators, multiple mixing $(s, q, p)$-summing operators and multiple strong $(s, q, p)$-mixing summing operators. We also define new class of multiple summing multilinear operator that are particular cases of our construction and, therefore, satisfy the results proved in the paper.
In this paper we prove coincidence results concerning spaces of absolutely summing multilinear mappings between Banach spaces. The nature of these results arises from two distinct approaches: the coincidence of two \textit{a priori} different classes of summing multilinear mappings and the summability of all multilinear mappings defined on products of Banach spaces. Optimal generalizations of known results are obtained. We also introduce and explore new techniques in the field, for example a technique to extend coincidence results for linear, bilinear and even trilinear mappings to general mul…
Every absolutely summing linear operator is weakly compact. However, for strongly summing multilinear operators and polynomials - one of the most natural extensions of the linear case to the non linear framework - weak compactness does not hold in general. We show that a subclass of the class of strongly summing multilinear operators/polynomials, sharing its main properties such as Grothendieck's Theorem, Pietsch Domination Theorem and Dvoretzky-Rogers Theorem, has even better properties like weak compactness and a natural factorization theorem.
This paper has a twofold purpose: to present an overview of the theory of absolutely summing operators and its different generalizations for the multilinear setting, and to sketch the beginning of a research project related to an objective search of \textquotedblleft perfect\textquotedblright \ multilinear extensions of the ideal of absolutely summing operators. The final section contains some open problems that may indicate lines for future investigation.
In this note we prove the optimality of a family of known coincidence theorems for absolutely summing multilinear operators. We connect our results with the theory of multiple summing multilinear operators and prove the sharpness of similar results obtained via the complex interpolation method.
In this paper we give a systematized treatment to some coincidence situations for multiple summing multilinear mappings which extend, generalize and simplify the methods and results obtained thus far. The application of our general results to the pertinent particular cases gives several new coincidences as well as easier proofs of some known results.
We apply the geometric approach provided by $Σ$-operators to develop a theory of $p$-summability for multilinear operators. In this way, we introduce the notion of Lipschitz $p$-summing multilinear operators and show that it is consistent with a general panorama of generalization: Namely, they satisfy Pietsch-type domination and factorization theorems and generalizations of the inclusion Theorem, Grothendieck's coincidence Theorems, the weak Dvoretsky-Rogers Theorem and a Lindenstrauss-Pelczyńsky Theorem. We also characterize this new class in tensorial terms by means of a Chevet-Saphar-type t…
It is well known that not every summability property for non linear operators leads to a factorization theorem. In this paper we undertake a detailed study of factorization schemes for summing linear and nonlinear operators. Our aim is to integrate under the same theory a wide family of classes of mappings for which a Pietsch type factorization theorem holds. We analyze the class of linear operators that are defined by a summability inequality involving a homogeneous map. Our construction includes the cases of absolutely $p$-summing linear operators, $(p,σ)$-absolutely continuous linear operat…
This short note has a twofold purpose: (i) to solve the question that motivates a recent paper of D. Popa on multilinear variants of Pietsch's composition theorem for absolutely summing operators. More precisely, we remark that there is a natural perfect extension of Pietsch's composition theorem to the multilinear and polynomial settings. This fact was overlooked in the aforementioned paper; (ii) to investigate extensions of some results of the aforementioned paper for particular situations, mainly by exploring cotype properties of the spaces involved.
We give conditions that ensure that an operator satisfying a Piestch domination in a given setting also satisfies a Piestch domination in a different setting. From this we derive that a bounded mutlilinear operator $T$ is Lipschitz $p$-summing if and only if the mapping $ f_T(x_1\otimes\cdots \otimes x_n):=T(x_1,\ldots, x_n)$ is Lipschitz $p$-summing. The results are based on the projective tensor norm. An example with the Hilbert tensor norm is provided to show that the statement may not hold when a reasonable cross-norm other than the projective tensor norm is considered.
Grothendieck's theorem asserts that every continuous linear operator from $\ell_1$ to $\ell_2$ is absolutely $(1,1)$-summing. This kind of result is commonly called coincidence result. In this paper we investigate coincidence results in the multilinear setting, showing how the cotype of the spaces involved affect such results. The special role played by $\ell_1$ spaces is also investigated with relation to interpolation of tensor products. In particular, an open problem on the interpolation of $m$ injective tensor products is solved.
A famous result due to Grothendieck asserts that every continuous linear operator from $\ell_{1}$ to $\ell_{2}$ is absolutely $(1,1)$-summing. If $n\geq2,$ however, it is very simple to prove that every continuous $n$-linear operator from $\ell_{1}\times...\times\ell_{1}$ to $\ell_{2}$ is absolutely $(1;1,...,1) $-summing, and even absolutely $(\frac{2}% {n};1,...,1) $-summing$.$ In this note we deal with the following problem: Given a positive integer $n\geq2$, what is the best constant $g_{n}>0$ so that every $n$-linear operator from $\ell_{1}\times...\times\ell_{1}$ to $\ell_{2}$ is absolut…
Considering the successful theory of multiple summing multilinear operators as a prototype, we introduce the classes of multiple Cohen strongly p-summing multilinear operators and polynomials. The adequacy of these classes under the viewpoint of the theory of multilinear and polynomial ideals and holomorphy types is discussed in detail. Some abstract results are also proved in the abstract setting of the full general Pietsch Domination Theorem due to Pellegrino, Santos and Seoane-Sepúlveda.
In this paper, we explore the concept of multilinear operators that are multiple almost summing and present a new concept of type and cotype of multilinear operators and investigate the conditions for this new concept to recover the original concept of type and type for multilinear operators. We also show that these classes are Banach multi-ideals and establish the coherence and compatibility of these classes with the generated homogeneous polynomials.
We show that given a positive integer $m$, a real number $p\in\left[ 2,\infty\right)$ and $1\leq s<p^{\ast}$ the set of non--multiple $\left( r;s\right)$--summing $m$--linear forms on $\ell_{p}\times\cdots\times \ell_{p}$ contains, except for the null vector, a closed subspace of maximal dimension whenever $r<\frac{2ms}{s+2m-ms}$. This result is optimal since for $r\geq\frac{2ms}{s+2m-ms}$ all $m$--linear forms on $\ell_{p}\times \cdots\times\ell_{p}$ are multiple $\left( r;s\right)$--summing. In particular, among other results, we generalize a result related to cotype (from 2010) due to Botel…
We introduce a general definition of almost $p$-summing mappings and give several concrete examples of such mappings. Some known results are considerably generalized and we present various situations in which the space of almost $p$-summing multilinear mappings coincides with the whole space of continuous multilinear mappings.
We investigate lineability/spaceability problems within the setting of multilinear summing operators on quasi-Banach sequence spaces. Furthermore, we deal with the contemporary geometric notions of pointwise-lineability and $(α,β)$-lineability. Among other results, we prove that the class of multilinear operators taking values on $\ell_q \, (0<q \leq \infty)$ that are absolutely but not multiple summing is pointwise $\mathfrak{c}$-spaceable when non-empty. Spaceability in other classes, such as Dunford-Pettis operators and multilinear operators on general summable scalar families, is also stud…
We present an abstract result that characterizes the coincidence of certain classes of linear operators with the class of Cohen strongly summing linear operators. Our argument is extended to multilinear operators and, as a consequence, we establish a few alternative characterizations for the class of Cohen strongly summing multilinear operators.
Kwapień's theorem asserts that every continuous linear operator from $\ell_{1}$ to $\ell_{p}$ is absolutely $\left( r,1\right) $-summing for $1/r=1-\left\vert 1/p-1/2\right\vert .$ When $p=2$ it recovers the famous Grothendieck's theorem. In this paper investigate multilinear variants of these theorems and related issues. Among other results we present a unified version of Kwapień's and Grothendieck's results that encompasses the cases of multiple summing and absolutely summing multilinear operators.
Grothendieck's theorem asserts that every continuous linear operator from $\ell_{1}$ to $\ell_{2}$ is absolutely $\left( 1;1\right) $-summing. In this note we prove that the optimal constant $g_{m}$ so that every continuous $m$-linear operator from $\ell_{1}\times\cdots\times\ell_{1}$ to $\ell_{2}$ is absolutely $\left( g_{m};1\right) $-summing is $\frac{2}{m+1}$. We also show that if $g_{m}<\frac{2}{m+1}$ there is $\mathfrak{c}$ dimensional linear space composed by continuous non absolutely $\left( g_{m};1\right) $-summing $m$-linear operators from $\ell_{1}\times\cdots\times\ell_{1}$ to $\el…
The main purpose of this paper is the study of a~new class of summing multilinear operators acting from the product of Banach lattices with some nontrivial lattice convexity. A~mixed Pietsch-Maurey-Rosenthal type factorization theorem for these operators is proved under weaker convexity requirements than the ones that are needed in the Maurey-Rosenthal factorization through products of $L^q$-spaces. A~by-product of our factorization is an extension of multilinear operators defined by a~$q$-concavity type property to a~product of special Banach function lattices which inherit some lattice-geome…
We analyze the interplay between maximal/minimal/adjoint ideals of multilinear operators (between sequence spaces) and their associated Köthe sequence spaces. We establish relationships with spaces of multipliers and apply these results to describe diagonal multilinear operators from Lorentz sequence spaces. We also define and study some properties of the ideal of $(E;p)$-summing multilinear mappings, a natural extension of the linear ideal of absolutely $(E;p)$-summing operators.
We discuss the multiple summability of a multilinear map $T:X_1\times\cdots\times X_m\to Y$ when we have informations on the summability of the maps it induces on each coordinate. Our methods have applications to inclusion theorems for multiple summing multilinear mappings and to the product of $p$-Sidon sets.
We use an interpolative technique from \cite{abps} to introduce the notion of multiple $N$-separately summing operators. Our approach extends and unifies some recent results; for instance we recover the best known estimates of the multilinear Bohnenblust-Hille constants due to F. Bayart, D. Pellegrino and J. Seoane-Sepúlveda. More precisely, as a consequence of our main result, for $1\leq t<2$ and $m\in \mathbb{N}$ we prove that $$ \left(\sum_{i_{1},\dots,i_{m}=1}^{\infty}\left\vert U\left(e_{i_{1}},\dots,e_{i_{m}}\right) \right\vert^{\frac{2tm}{2+(m-1)t}}\right)^{\frac{2+(m-1)t}{2tm}} \leq \l…
In this paper we prove a plenty of new results concerning summabililty properties of multilinear mappings between Banach spaces, such as an extension of Littlewood's 4/3 Theorem. Among other features, it is shown that every continuous n-linear form on the disc algebra or the Hardy space is (1;2,...,2)-summing, the role of the Littlewood-Orlicz property in the theory is established and the interplay with almost summing multilinear mappings is explored.
The theory of $τ$-summing and $σ$-nuclear linear operators on Banach spaces was developed by Pietsch [12, Chapter 23]. Extending the linear case to the range p > 1 and generalizing all cases to the multilinear setting, in this paper we introduce the concept of $σ(p)$-nuclear linear and multilinear operators. In order to develop the duality theory for the spaces of such operators, we introduce the concept of quasi-tau(p)-summing linear/multilinear operators and prove Pietsch-type domination theorems for such operators. The main result of the paper shows that, under usual conditions, linear func…
In the last decades many authors have become interested in the study of multilinear and polynomial generalizations of families of operator ideals (such as, for instance, the ideal of absolutely summing operators). However, these generalizations must keep the essence of the given operator ideal and there seems not to be a universal method to achieve this. The main task of this paper is to discuss, study, and introduce multilinear and polynomial extensions of the aforementioned operator ideals taking into account the already existing methods of evaluating the adequacy of such generalizations. Be…
We prove that the multiple summing norm of multilinear operators defined on some $n$-dimensional real or complex vector spaces with the $p$-norm may be written as an integral with respect to stables measures. As an application we show inclusion and coincidence results for multiple summing mappings. We also present some contraction properties and compute or estimate the limit orders of this class of operators.
Among other results we investigate $\left( α,β\right) $-lineability of the set of non-continuous $m$-linear operators defined between normed spaces as a subset of the space of all $m$-linear operators. We also give a partial answer to an open problem on the lineability of the set of non absolutely summing operators.
In this note we prove an abstract version of a result from 2002 due to Delgado and Piñero on absolutely summing operators. Several applications are presented; some of them in the multilinear framework and some in a completely nonlinear setting. In a final section we investigate the size of the set of non uniformly dominated sets of linear operators under the point of view of lineability.
We characterize those bounded multilinear operators that factor through a Hilbert space in terms of its behavior in finite sequences. This extends a result, essentially due to S. Kwapień, from the linear to the multilinear setting. We prove that Hilbert-Schmidt and Lipschitz $2$-summing multilinear operators naturally factor through a Hilbert space. It is also proved that the class $Γ$ of all multilinear operators that factor through a Hilbert space is a maximal multi-ideal; moreover, we give an explicit formulation of a finitely generated tensor norm $γ$ which is in duality with $Γ$.
Basing on the work of Pellegrino et al. on factorable strongly p-summing multilinear operators, we will continue study this class of operators and borrowing the same idea for the category of p-nuclear operators. Therefore, we will construct other multilinear and polynomial ideals for which the most valuable results of the theory of p-nuclear linear operators are available, namely the Pietsch domination theorem and the well known factorization given by Cohen and Kwapien for p-nuclear operators.
Given an infinite-dimensional Banach space $X$ and a Banach space $Y$ with no finite cotype, we determine whether or not every continuous linear operator from $X$ to $Y$ is absolutely $(q;p)$-summing for almost all choices of $p$ and $q$, including the case $p=q$. If $X$ assumes its cotype, the problem is solved for all choices of $p$ and $q$. Applications to the theory of dominated multilinear mappings are also provided.
Let $1\le p\le q<\infty$ and let $X$ be a $p$-convex Banach function space over a $σ$-finite measure $μ$. We combine the structure of the spaces $L^p(μ)$ and $L^q(ξ)$ for constructing the new space $S_{X_p}^{\,q}(ξ)$, where $ξ$ is a probability Radon measure on a certain compact set associated to $X$. We show some of its properties, and the relevant fact that every $q$-summing operator $T$ defined on $X$ can be continuously (strongly) extended to $S_{X_p}^{\,q}(ξ)$. This result turns out to be a mixture of the Pietsch and Maurey-Rosenthal factorization theorems, which provide (strong) factoriz…
Transfer operators M_k acting on k-forms in R^n are associated to smooth transversal local diffeomorphisms and compactly supported weight functions. A formal trace is defined by summing the product of the weight and the Lefschetz sign over all fixed points of all the diffeos. This yields a formal Ruelle-Lefschetz determinant Det^#(1-zM). We use the Milnor-Ruelle-Kitaev equality (recently proved by Baillif), which expressed Det^#(1-zM) as an alternated product of determinants of kneading operators,Det(1+D_k(z)), to relate zeroes and poles of the Ruelle-Lefschetz determinant to the spectra of th…
